After the royal treatment the modding community gave Bethesda's last game, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, it only made sense we would see similar support for Fallout 3.
Enter the fan-made HD texture pack, a mod that adds more rocks and cracks into the mix in an effort to make the Capital Wasteland that much more ... beautiful? Or should I say destroyed?
PCGH has got the installation instructions, download links, and texture comparison shots you desire, so head on over there if you think your PC is up to the task of running Fallout 3 with the new content.
Reportedly, you'll need a computer that can run the game on ultra-high to be able to use these high-res textures without experiencing stuttering. Consider yourself warned!

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

So if there is a movie with the Rock in it where he is fighting in a rock quarry be prepared to be HD eye fucked!!!
Honestly, though I probably would not have noticed. I'll back up my texture directory in case applying the pack tanks my framerate.
What the hell is this going to do? What ever Ill try it I got 2gb texture memory.... this is new to me.
this is the last game that needed a texture redo.
I don't want or expect it to look clean or anything, I just think it's an ugly and unnecessary texture pack. "Grimy" was probably the wrong word.
